Down from Cornwall to visit my parents is always exciting. Especially when I get to have some good Ottawa Asian food!! Well, this time we had a time constraint and we weren’t near Somerset where majority of good Pho restaurants are located. Instead we went to Pho Vietnam…we had ordered the seafood special, wonton soup, pho tai(thinly sliced rare beef) and jackfruit smoothie(sadly they stop selling smoothies…BUT ITS STILL ON THE MENU!!! 😡🤬).

It really puts this...
Read moreMy first time ordering from here and I wanted to like it so badly since this is the closest Vietnamese restaurant to my house, but I was incredibly disappointed. I ordered the vermicelli with beef and spring rolls. It came with two spring rolls, both miniature sized. The beef was mediocre in terms of flavour but the biggest disappointment has to be the portion size. I don’t eat much in general, but I was still starving after I finished this. I have no idea how this could possibly feed any grown adult. For $18 after tax this was a complete rip off. Will not...
